Steve Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Get your training first and then you'll be better placed to decide what is the right motor/wing combination for you. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasrho Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 The instructor we're thinking of using does not have training equipment. Must get prior. He is an active rating instructor. Only 2 in Pennsylvania. Kinda in a pickle I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 It's generally regarded as bad practice to buy your kit before you undergo training, for good reason. Does the other one of the two provide kit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasrho Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 I don't know for sure, I've emailed the other one about 2 weeks ago and I have not heard from them. Again. .. pickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yank Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 chasrho, I hear ya. I'm in the same situation. Most instructors I've interacted with don't "rent" gear. The only one I've heard of doing this is down in florida (aviatorPPG). And I think BlackHawk does it if you agree to buy from them (I think) but...I'm not too keen on their gear...Just doesn't look like I'd be happy with it (preference, not badmouthing anybody). This sport just isn't big enough here me thinks. Maybe some day there will be enough students to justify having gear for student use. Most of the instructors seem to be individuals without the means to have multiple gear setups. In any case, I'm goin with the parajet Zenith, Bailey V5, Macpara Charger 24 (IN BLUE!! ). My instructor told me to pick a harness/engine combo that would work with my size and weight (actually suggested the top 80 since I'm not very big, but IMO, I'm set on getting that sweet sweet 4 stroke sexiness), and steered me to the charger since it has lots of speed control to play with without getting too crazy. And again, 24 meter since it works with my weight. So that's my story and soon to be setup. I think we just gotta sell what we don't like later. Not the best situation....New here. Nice to meetcha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himmel Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I am in PA as well and was looking into Midwest PPG in Indiana. They have gear for students, costs less, and just looks like a better school than the one around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
